then again, it was exactly the same with beyblade, complete with our tv only showed the very first season and i looked up online what happens later but never watched past that

my earliest "being a kid in fandom" anecdotes are either beyblade or yugioh related

teen in fandom are prince of tennis related but that's a whole different story

that was not something i saw on tv and then looked up online

I'd like to rewatch DM some time but I don't think I have it in me to watch a duel with a random mob taking 5 episodes... 5D's spoiled me with its pacing

we watch beyblade on x1,25 speed while doing other stuff, that helps a lot and i think the fillery dm parts might earn x1,5

i want to finally, after 20 years, see anything past pegasus with my own eyes though instead of reading on a fansite about someone named marik ishtar

that was the case with beyblade too, baby me had a folder of pretty kai hiwatari screencaps from g revolution but it's only now that i am fulfilling baby me's wish of actually watching g revolution
